Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, in Johnson County, and voters have many key decisions to make.
There’s a lot on the Nov. 3 ballot, from a high-profile Senate contest to deciding who will be Prairie Village’s next mayor. Not to mention 18 judicial retention votes and a vote on a constitutional amendment regarding whether only citizens should be allowed to vote in Kansas elections.
During this critical midterm election season, the Johnson County Post gave our readers in-depth informative coverage of the issues affecting Johnson County.
We hosted 11 candidate forums over seven nights, focused on the most local of races, and we extended invitations to all candidates running for bigger statewide races. We garnered responses to reader-generated questionnaires from about 65 candidates who are seeking federal, state and local offices impacting Johnson County.
The result: We want to make sure our readers have the information they need before going to the polls, so that you can decide who you want to govern your communities, control your tax dollars and make important decisions on your behalf.
As Johnson County voters head to the polls and mail in ballots or drop them off at secure drop box locations, we’ve put together election primers for each of the races in the Post’s coverage area.
These guides will give you an easy way to find out more about the candidates and where they stand on the issues important to our readers, so you can decide for yourself who will best represent you in Washington, Topeka and right here at home.
